In today’s Inquirer, art critic Victoria Donohoe weighs in on the Rosenbach Museum & Library’s new exhibition “Dreadful Things Happen: The Brothers Grimm & Maurice Sendak,” which explores the world-renowned illustrator Maurice Sendak’s perspective on the 200 years of folktales–Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White, Cinderella, and more–immortalized by Jacob and Wilheim Grimm.

Donohoe applauds the exhibition, which is currently running through November 7, saying, “The summer exhibit ‘Dreadful Things Happen: The Brothers Grimm & Maurice Sendak’ at the Rosenbach Museum and Library is remarkable for its spooky power,” also noting,”The mystery of this show’s references entices adults and children alike, engaging us rather like a cabinet of curiosities.”
